ABSOLUTE PEAKINEMA

I saw a comment about Columbina opening her eyes to truly see the world for the first time.

So technically the first time she truly saw Sandrones face is with Sandrones lifeless body. Pretty sad

Weaponmaster4702026-01-25 05:08

>I once saw the three moons of Teyvat when I was passing through the false sky. Two are utterly destroyed, their lifeless remains drifting aimlessly through space. The one that remained intact shows no signs of life either, but its will has not faded completely. Maybe there's a chance that one day, a glimmer of **truth** will emerge in the false sky - a **truth** belonging to this world alone.

- About the Will of the Moons from Skirk

Clapped that young fraud "god"

SirTrappy2026-01-25 05:09

i dont care how many people use that "power of friendship" critique nonsense. i love scenes like this.

TheCapybara92026-01-25 05:53

It doesn't even fit the standard definition. We had to plan the entire arc and Sandrone sacrificed her own life in a gambit to fool Dottore. Nobody got sudden power ups just because they were friends either.

Whoever came up with that criticism shall be sentenced to binge watching Fairy Tail.

Difficult-Injury40622026-01-25 06:25

Nah this a reward not a punishment because Fairy Tail is peak

BidDaddyLei2026-01-25 09:02

That's subjective, I did liked FT at first but after the Grand Magic games I dropped it for being trash(But that's just my take).

herminihildo2026-01-25 09:59

It's not just to fool Dottore. It was in her notes that states that the traveler must be alive for them to succeed.

killerfreedom2552026-01-25 12:10

Nah they shall be strapped to a chair and forced to watch the entirety of one piece season 1 to completion with no breaks and no intro/ed skips

Crimson_Raven2026-01-25 18:58

~~don't threaten me with a good time~~

But what is this slander? Of all the anime and seasons you could have picked, OP season one is the least like this. The first few foes were pretty clearly under the Strawhats' power (exception of Usopp and Nami who are not fighters). The tension usually came with a secondary threat (someone helpless, defending something etc) once that gets resolved they get folded.

Later Pre-timeskip seasons still do well, as we see the protagonists losing until they figure out the villain's power/skill/mental and exploit a weakness.

killerfreedom2552026-01-25 20:30

Its not slander. Good luck to anyone watching OP season 1 without a break because it has… lets see… \*checks notes* 1145 episodes in total. Yeah, thats around 400+ hours of non-stop watching?

Crimson_Raven2026-01-25 20:41

You are mistaken. That 1145 is about how many episodes OP has total, though I think it's around 1155 now. Of that, 8% is directly filler, though a great many later episodes are heavily padded.

Season 1 is about 61 episodes: 44 canon episodes, 4 mixed, and 13 filler.

killerfreedom2552026-01-25 20:47

Didnt one piece literally just announce recently that they are officially becoming seasonal and thus “season 1” has all the 1000+ episodes?

Crimson_Raven2026-01-25 20:52

A brief look shows that is referring to a production model change, from weekly episodes to months on/months off, aka "seasonal"

Narrative seasons would be unchanged.

killerfreedom2552026-01-25 20:58

Nah, that would be arcs, not seasons. If they only recently announced season 2, that means season 1 is all 1k episodes.

Just like how naruto had multiple different arcs. Land of Waves wasnt called season 1 and Chunin Exams season 2. No, Naruto was season 1 and Shippuden was season 2.

Edit: around 500+ episodes each btw, so One Piece season 1 just doubled Naruto S1

Crimson_Raven2026-01-25 21:02

You are just arguing by changing definitions of words to prove your point.

BillysTown2026-01-25 06:30

This wasn’t as friendship but Columbina line about Friends and family was funny. But no I would also love a balance which they do. Remember in Sumeru we ‘won’ but at a cost with Dottore’s deal.

siriuslupin652026-01-25 11:45

It costed Sandrone her life, a very important member of the group, and arguably Columbina's best friend

Whilyam2026-01-25 15:12

I think people don't count that because we are pretty sure she's coming back.

NicoKudo2026-01-25 06:35

Yep, and besides the fact that genshin has always been about uniting everyone and the power of trust/belief, it's clear that what columbina said was their reason for fighting as opposed to the reason they were winning as some of the criticism I've read

MaleQueef2026-01-25 06:48

It’s a different flair of Power of Friendship. You could feel everybody trying to mentally crawl their way out of this situation.

The whole AQ from act 1 to 8 was literally everybody constantly being all hands on deck regardless if they found some downtime. The characters were also not even completely dropped after their SQ.

And something I prefer more than relegating all the things plot movement with just one person.

Repulsive_Ease_96712026-01-25 06:58

the line was a "power of friendship" line sure but it's really not, Dottore can't beat the Trilunar goddess, her powers are the 4 shades combined without any artificial moon marrow

BidDaddyLei2026-01-25 09:00

"power of friendship" is pulling BS out of nowhere and sudden power ups out of nowhere. This is so far from it, it was planned meticulously the people involved are no scrubs either there were no power ups.

AceWissle2026-01-25 10:05

It IS the patch we got the pony outfit and later get the pony girl though

My little Pony crossover is real!

Whilyam2026-01-25 15:16

Yeah, having finally played the story, I don't understand that as a criticism. Did the word "friends" show up in the dialogue? Yeah? I guess? But beyond that, the story was unusually coherent and had some fun twists but everything was very easily explained and nothing really felt like an ass pull.

Like, compare this to Natlan and it feels like night and day. And the writers have, for now, cured themselves of the babble disease at least in the AQ.

Gogogendogo2026-01-26 02:35

>And the writers have, for now, cured themselves of the babble disease at least in the AQ.

I like how they basically make fun of that with Nicole stopping herself from monologuing about the mechanics of everything. (Shots fired, Shaoji and the HSR writing team...)

fly25552026-01-25 05:09

even sadder is post AQ Columbina at friendship 6 when you can view Tri-Lunar Convergence (the start of it)

>!After acquiring tri-lunar authority, Columbina naturally had some questions: Could this power really do everything? What should she use it for? She felt that the things she wanted to do were almost all within the reach of the three moons' power: Moving freely between the moon and Teyvat, effortlessly transporting herself and other objects, making flowers bloom more brilliantly, causing fruits to grow fuller... She even tried to wake Sandrone up. But that was one of the few things this trilunar power could not accomplish for her.!<

Izanagi322026-01-25 10:51

I wonder if we can phone up Ei and see if she has any idea how to fix her up

2017201820192026-01-25 11:50

turn her off and on again

Izanagi322026-01-25 15:02

Aether and Columbina can do that themselves lol

Ghisteslohm2026-01-25 18:04

yeah and when Ei asks them "did you try to turn her off and on again" they will answer "yes" but then Ei as the it support doesnt trust them, turns her off and on again herself just for good measure and oh wonder it works

Crimson_Raven2026-01-25 18:54

Machines know when an expert is nearby and will start working again out of fear

YoursTrulyHuntty2026-01-25 20:08

Interesting idea. Raiden, the one who murdered one of Bina's friends, is asked to revive another, all while Bina herself is here.

ahmadalhuraibi2026-01-25 05:12

People hate Natlan’s 'power of friendship,' yet they love this one for using that same old power. What a bunch of hypocrites.

Tyberius1152026-01-25 06:00

Half of the Natlan haters rarely deserve to be taken seriously anyway.

Perfect_Increase87922026-01-25 06:05

Here it is done with the help of others and they are actually showing up not like traveler and mavuika soloing the abyss while others are offline

FlameDragoon9332026-01-25 06:14

I think that might be goomba fallacy. people who hated Natlan would probably be the same people who hated this too, not the ones who love this.

In any case, I like both.

EveningMembershipWhy2026-01-25 06:29

Eh, I don't think the two are comparable.

And just FYI, I did not hate Natlan at all, but I do believe the Archon quest was the lowest point of that version (with exploration being a high point for me).

My main issue is that the "heroes" are mainly cheerleaders in Natlan, the were just chosen ones but all the relevant fighting is done by the Traveler and Mavuika, the other characters are not even an active part of most of the planning. So the Traveler and Mavuika being all hopeless, while the 6 heroes RNG activates and the Traveler gets its power up is definitely more in the "power of friendship" field than anything in Nod-Krai. I don't hate it, it's just not for me, the shonen genre is no longer for me, and that's ok, but you can't deny that that's what they went for. Mind you, I like most of the cast a lot, and that only improved with events, not even Citlali annoyed me even though I've been side-eyeing the Columbina/Traveler push. Also, Varessa did nothing wrong.

Then Nod-Krai has been full of planning since 3 patches ago, there is a proper build up of all these characters meeting each other and learning to work together, first for Rerir, now for Dottore, Arle's moon connection was foreshadowed at least 2 whole versions ago, she is also Columbina's colleague, and Sandrone was built up as well since 6.0. Then you have Sandrone being, IMO, the MVP by finding a way to find a solution, in a way that can be tracked all the way back to 4.x, and then making sure it works, she even dies for it, which is a real and tangible cost, she is totally coming back later, yes, but still, that works far better than the weird convo Citlali and Xilonen had on the costs of forging a name which went nowhere.

nerd_reader_51592026-01-25 07:23

agree

BidDaddyLei2026-01-25 09:06

Like Natlan arc tbh, but you are correct sidelining the other heroes with only Traveler and Mavuika fighting in the final fight was its lowest point. They could have had the heroes clear the way otw to the final fight but no they had to stay in the arena and watch lol.

AsterJ2026-01-25 07:19

In Natlan you literally had beams of friendship being fired from the 7 heroes into Mauvika. Like they literally just say their ancient name and say "for natlan!" and fire their friendship beam to power her up.

While Columbina says she gets her strength from her friends she actually used the power from trilunar authority to win.

Collin-kunn2026-01-25 08:03

People loved Natlan tho

PhantomHeartless52026-01-25 05:17

I don't care was anyone says, this was the most hype moment of the whole Archon Quest.

SgtRohn2026-01-25 05:17

It's weird. I wanted to rewatch this cutscene in the journal, but it's not there. The last cutscene replayable is >!Columbina coming back after a short while!<, with >!Varka and Arlecchino bringing the moon down!<.

Eenkin2026-01-25 05:39

Ingame rendered scenes aren’t able to be replayed. Only pre-rendered scenes since those are video formats. Ingame rendered ones like this would have to either be re-uploaded in the game as pre-rendered or load the entire stage, effects, and models again from anywhere, then reload the area where you last opened the log.

Apart_Routine27932026-01-25 05:59

>either be re-uploaded in the game as pre-rendered or load the entire stage, effects, and models again from anywhere, then reload the area where you last opened the log.

Which one demand more space?

TheWitcherMigs2026-01-25 10:19

Pre-rendered is a .mp4 (it's not, but for sake of clarity) file attached to the game that plays when requested

Rendered involves get lines of code so the game assets behave in a certain way, and of course it's a lot more demanding

Whilyam2026-01-25 15:10

Yeah but the question was which would take more space. A video file is massive. The engine render is using the engine we already have in the game and lines of code which could be boiled down to a txt file.

minimaltonic2026-01-25 05:18

Is this the first time they've included an in-game-engine cutscene as part of an official cutscene upload? I remember thinking "huh this looks in-game" and then the QTEs hit...

What a pretty satisfying fight sequence nonetheless. I really love this cast.

Eenkin2026-01-25 05:32

No, there have been other ingame rendered scenes uploaded before on the official channel.

KageYume2026-01-25 06:14

No, this isn't the first time but it's pretty rare.

One such example is the Karaoke duet of Itto and Paimon in the flagship event of version 4.6.

minimaltonic2026-01-25 07:11

Oh wow, totally forgot that it was in-game! Appreciate the correction.

GeneralSweet2026-01-25 10:41

Also the QTEs are totally pointless. Decided to let them fail and nothing happens

FieryPlume2026-01-25 11:36

I did the same. I wanted to see what would happen if I didn’t do anything (and besides I wanted to enjoy the animation)

devilhtd2026-01-25 15:18

Literally the first cutscene in their channel was game engine render

chacha_chakkan2732026-01-25 05:18

Absolute cinema ✋😐🤚

SaibaShogun2026-01-25 05:56

The symbolism in Dottore only having his artificial Moon Marrow left to defend himself against Bina’s final attack is one of my favorites parts here. When he’s stripped of everything he’s stolen, he only has what he’s truly earned for himself left, and it proves insufficient for him to win. Personally, it brings to mind the ultimate fate of Homunculus from FMA.

Weaponmaster4702026-01-25 06:56

It's more pathetic combined with the earlier scene when Zandoink tries to duel Bina's beam even when he has the authentic marrows and his photocopy marrow and he still rapidly flops, leading to him deploying the ripoff Rho Aias which folds in seconds despite his struggle to hold it up, then he *kneels* lol

*"There is no rule stating that the fake can’t surpa-AAACK"*

Rain-Maker332026-01-25 08:36

Looks like people die when they are killed. And his ass sure got killed.

Environmental-Belt492026-01-25 11:04

remember : there should be a body to confirm character death.

siriuslupin652026-01-25 11:35

Unless they get absolute pulverized like Signora. There was no body left of Signora and she is confirmed dead

Dekachonk2026-01-25 16:21

Her hat fell off though, that's like losing your shoes.

Ghisteslohm2026-01-25 18:21

It also proves him right, his own power wasnt enough to overcome the rules of the world or in other words the gods enforcing the rules. So he tried to accumulate more power by acquiring the moon marrows. without it, he had no chance. if you arent a descender and are not born as a good, you need to steal the power of the gods

DottoresPet2026-01-25 07:09

Make Dottore playable please

Hatarakumaou2026-01-25 08:06

Dottore Fans: No actually the Doctor had a point, we should’ve gone with him

The literal official GI account: nah that motherfucker lying

DottoresPet2026-01-25 08:17

Hatarakumaou2026-01-25 08:19

Sure sure whatever help you sleep at night lol

DottoresPet2026-01-25 08:20

Dottore helps me sleep at night actually

Environmental-Belt492026-01-25 11:07

profile name checks out.

Rain-Maker332026-01-25 08:40

Yeah, even the devs pointed out how bad he is when introducing his boss fight in the Livestream.

DottoresPet2026-01-25 11:09

When? I didn't hear them say anything that isn't already known.

Rain-Maker332026-01-25 08:35

I particularly love how dottore gets kicked in the face by a Dendro user from Sumeru, who, while being an outcast, contrasts greatly with him.

Go, Boss Nef, Go!!!

He also get spiked pretty hard in the chest by the Traveler's geo attack, which represented the Lunar Crystallize reaction in that final volley of attacks.

Man, am I glad his ass got beat down so hard by everyone. Friends uniting in the face of great despicable threats is the sort of thing I really love!

Gentlemanor2026-01-25 08:43

You can't imagine how much I was spamming during Columbina's beam QTE

Environmental-Belt492026-01-25 10:57

when are we going to have the "lunar" traveler? the skill and burst during Dottore fight were the bomb.

KindredTrash4832026-01-25 10:58

But seriously, what did lauma even do here? She turned into a deer and made a green flash with her hand - then we cut to traveler and we dont see lauma again till the fight is over

2017201820192026-01-25 11:52

She did her E Q before swapping

EntertainmentIll15672026-01-25 11:51

I didn't see no body. 7.0 bros. Dottore will return trust

Commercial_Life51452026-01-25 13:48

Hopefully, his story feels incomplete

Carcinogenic_Potato2026-01-25 14:50

Call me a party pooper, but am I the only one that thinks that Nefer, Lauma, and Flins shouldn't be able to keep up with Trilune Dottore?

chimestonks2026-01-25 18:07

Nefer and Lauma definitely but I feel like Flins can kind of keep up with him, since he was able to keep up with Traveler against Rerir.

MaleQueef2026-01-26 05:07

It’s weird but it “kinda” makes sense for them. Lauma is just gifted with wielding Khuvaaki having her Moonwheel with her almost since birth (Moonwheel story)

While Nefer’s Moonwheel came from the Ibis king who was given the power from the three moons directly.

But I guess the better answer is that the New Moon’s blessing was granted to all four of them.

DrkSpde2026-01-25 16:49

So what exactly did Luama do? Everyone else gave him a pretty good beating, but she just jumped in the air and made a pretty light? Doc didn't even seem to notice.

Alex-0052026-01-25 22:22

this whole ending scene is so Xenoblade coded. Columbina's "Today, the moon lights up this world once more" is reminiscent of Shulk's line at the end of XC1. The ray of light (altho it's hydro here) is reminiscent to the XC2 ending. And Dottore's final line as he's disintegrating is very similar to a bunch of villain deaths in Xenoblade. Also Dottore's "how can you be so satisfied with your fate" is very close to Z's whole spiel at the end of XC3
